It has been almost three hours that I am engaged in googling your blog -- really nice job!!! Being from Afghanistan and growing there I never feel and see what someone new to the country finds. It has been almost 7 months now that I am in the U.S. and I enjoy my time, though sometimes it is hard being away from home and family. But I can talk about everything with everyone and tell anyone what I learned, found different and so on and on... I was wondering why you can't/don't talk about it, or why you quickly forgot (or maybe want to forget) everything there. Going from U.S. in a country like Afghanistan must be so hard but exciting, I think. Thanks for posting everything. I am not sure if I would be able to find this blog again(since I found it just with random search), but feel free to contact me at northprince_f@hotmail dot com for any reasons:) Hi,

I know how you feel. I haven't been deployed since 2003, but I still experience many of the same things you talk of. I haven't slept much either since then without medication. I think we just learn to cope or we go mad. I guess only time will tell which path we chose. :D Good to hear that you were able to take some time and just be with your wife. I'm sure she appreciated the moments she had with you and you with her. Welcome back!! Schedule another cruise!! I know how you feel.
